2017 PRSM Mid-Year Conference

Communities of Interest - Setting Standards in Retail FM (Room 3rd Floor, Room 310)

(Retailer & Supplier Focus Group)

PRSM has been increasingly more involved with different associations, government entities and municipalities. These organizations come to PRSM to understand how to better tailor their standards, initiatives and programs to retail companies. PRSM provides this guidance by providing member feedback, overall benchmarked trends and resources such as best practices or magazine articles.  PRSM then provides education about these organization’s standards, programs and initiatives to keep members’ informed on either mandatory or voluntary programs.

Join us in this discovery session to learn about how PRSM is working with different government entities and organizations, such as the Department of Energy, the Institute for Market Transformation and cities such as New York City. Attendees will learn what programs these organization have for retail brands, how they impact facilities management and how you can get involved. All of the initiatives are excellent ways to build your FM Department’s credibility.

Additionally, in this focus group, attendees are invited to share how FMs are affected by these different programs as well as how PRSM can better represent members in the future. PRSM will use this information for building stronger alliances and partnerships with these organizations and governmental departments. Let your voice be heard!
